Intertape Polymer Group Holds Investor Day

Long-Term Objective to Reach Approximately $1.5 billion in Revenue

MONTREAL, QUEBEC and SARASOTA, FLORIDA--(Marketwired - June 21, 2016) - Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (TSX:ITP) (the "Company") today announces some key long-term financial objectives during its Investor Day being held at the new Blythewood, South Carolina facility. Based on a combination of anticipated acquisitions, internal growth initiatives and a more comprehensive capital expenditures program to upgrade existing manufacturing capabilities and capacity, the Company's objective is to reach approximately $1.5 billion in revenue with at least a 15% Adjusted EBITDA margin* in the next five to seven years.

"Today, we are proud to showcase our new state-of-the-art Blythewood facility to the financial community, a project that started almost three years ago and that required investments of approximately $60 million. There have been significant execution hurdles in that this project involved the implementation of new, more efficient and more environmentally friendly technology. Despite on-going challenges in optimizing the efficiency of the new production processes, we still believe that we are on track to realize expected cost savings of approximately $13 million by the beginning of fiscal 2017," said Greg Yull, President and CEO.

"We are also providing some clear long-term financial objectives and our vision of the future. In order to achieve these objectives, we believe we will need to execute successfully on accretive mergers and acquisitions as well as capital projects intended to expand our capacity, add new products to our portfolio and achieve our goal of being a low cost manufacturer with world class assets. Furthermore, we are actively looking to expand our footprint beyond North America to become a global player who can leverage foreign growth opportunities as well as low cost production in new jurisdictions. We are very excited by the opportunities we see in growing the Company's top and bottom line, and we believe we have the people and motivation to successfully achieve our long term objectives," concluded Mr. Yull.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measures as defined under applicable securities legislation. The Company believes such non-GAAP financial measures improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company's results by excluding certain non-operating expenses, as well as certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring expenses, providing more insight into the performance of ongoing core business operations. In addition, for these reasons, non-GAAP financial measures are used by management and the Company's lenders in evaluating the Company's performance.

As required by applicable securities legislation, the Company has provided a definition of this measure. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and should consider non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

EBITDA should not be construed as earnings (loss) before income taxes, net earnings (loss) or cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP. The Company defines EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before (i) interest and other finance costs; (ii) income tax expense (benefit); (iii) amortization of intangible assets; and (iv) depreciation of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before (i) manufacturing facility closures, restructuring and other related charges; (ii) stock-based compensation expense (benefit); (iii) impairment of goodwill; (iv) impairment of long-lived assets and other assets; (v) write-down on assets classified as held-for-sale; (vi) (gain) loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment; and (vii) other discrete items. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. The terms "EBITDA", "adjusted EBITDA" and "adjusted EBITDA margin" do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities or as alternatives to net earnings (loss) as indicators of the Company's operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
